"They're doing amazing work in the community and now with their new centre open it's just going to expand even more," said David Lenz, President of Windsor Pride Fest, who calls the centre revolutionary.

"It just shows that we are making a huge difference in this community."

Lenz said the next step for LGBTQ support centres is to continue working together to improve community needs.

The Windsor Pride Fest has a three year Trillium grant that they're able to partner with W.E. Trans to ensure the programming fits demands.

W.E Trans Centre Programming

Here's what is being offered at the centre:

Clothing donations

Carver said this is one of the largest expenses for people transitioning as they purchase new clothes that match the gender identity they will present as

Food bank

Trans people dealing with food insecurity have a big barrier when accessing some traditional food banks, according to Carver. They may have to show identification that doesn't match the gender identity they're presenting as. The W.E Trans food bank won't ask for ID.

Tran Spectrum

​A peer support group run by trans-identified people for trans-identified people, which Carver said gives people a space to talk openly.

T 2

This group is for friends, families and allies "because they go on a journey of their own," said Carver.

T-Party

​A group social that meets once a month that aims to support people who are living in isolation and create a level of comfort for people to be in the community in a group setting.
